The Nematoads came into existance when three evicted Lazuli females joined forced with a Baobab and a wild in early 2014.They started raising litters, and with the wild male gone, were soon back to being a habituated group. The group established well despite losting their two subordinate females that formed the XhodesThe and quickly became a habiduated group. All founding members emrigrated within a year except the dominant pair. Unfortunately, Crusty was predated in August 2015. The group had a number of dominant male, and Bernie disappeared. The group began to decline in numbers but has established new dominance with Indiana as the new head of the group.
Dominant Pair
The oldest Lazuli female Bernie established dominance with the Boabab male Crusty. The retain their dominance over the group for about a year and a half until Crusty was predated. Their eldest son Hiw quickly took the dominant male poisiton but soon left the group to go roving. A wild male called New Crusty joined the group but could not establish a steady dominance. He was displaced by a group of new males, wild and Quintessentials males in mid 2016. Wild male VNMM023 became the new dominant male. Bernie was lost and eldest strongest female Indiana became the new dominant female.
